What changes for your team
Scope prep time
PlanHub requires your team to prep scope manually before distributing bids. Orcera reads your plans and generates scope packages automatically across 34 CSI trades.
Procurement coverage
PlanHub covers bid distribution and basic estimation. Orcera handles the full lifecycle: scope extraction, ITB distribution, bid leveling, award, and PO generation.
Scope accuracy
Every line item Orcera generates traces back to the exact plan page and spec section it came from. Your team can verify scope without digging through documents.
The real difference
PlanHub focuses on bid distribution and estimation tools. It can send RFQs to subcontractors and offers takeoff features, but that is where its workflow ends. Your team still handles scope prep, trade classification, and everything after bids come in.
Orcera eliminates that manual work entirely. AI reads your plans and specifications, extracts scope across 34 trades automatically, and generates complete bid packages with full source traceability to the exact plan page and spec section. No manual scope writing. No interpreting drawings.
From there, Orcera continues through bid leveling, award, and PO generation. A complete scope-to-PO workflow where days of manual prep become minutes. PlanHub distributes bids. Orcera automates the entire procurement process.
